SitcomFan · 05-22-2002, 07:44 PM

i was reading and i read that Terry Farrell was written out/fired off of Becker for next season on because to take the show in a new direction

Frasier W. Crane · 05-23-2002, 01:02 AM

I looked into it and IT IS true! How is Becker gonna last without her! I'm real sad!!!!!!!!

TJL · 05-23-2002, 05:19 AM

Wow, that sucks.

She left "Star Trek-Deep Space Nine" before the final season to be on that show.

I have to find out what happened.

Frasier W. Crane · 05-23-2002, 09:30 PM

I can't explain how mad I am.....Thats DOES suck!! Its all because they wanted to try to take a new "Creative Direction" to the show!! Reggie is like my fav. charactor, and although I am starting to like Nancy Travis' charater, its still gonna suck!

Chocoholic · 05-23-2002, 11:56 PM

WHAT??? How could they! Reggie is an awesome character! Becker is already a great show. I don't know why people have to fix things that ain't broke.

Drew · 05-24-2002, 06:46 PM

Exactly!

Central Perk · 05-26-2002, 07:34 PM

I have never seen this show but doesn't Terry Farell play a major character...that seems dumb just to write a character off...who are they going to bring along to replace her.

Frasier W. Crane · 05-27-2002, 12:12 AM

Nancy Travis's Role (Chris) will probably be expanded next year and she'll be part of the cast regularly. I don't know what they will do with Reggies Diner. Some one might come and take over or a new set will be built. But What I'm wondering, is where does this leave the cliff hanger? Reggie Kissed becker and so did chris, and I know that reggie likes becker but how in the world are they gonna replace her and what will be the storyline? With the love thing an all.

Janice · 05-27-2002, 12:18 AM

Which one is Terry Farrell and who is Chris? I've only watched the show about a half dozen times.

Frasier W. Crane · 05-27-2002, 12:58 PM

Terry Farell Plays Reggie and she owns the diner where becker goes. Chris is a new character they brought in for about the last 4 episodes this year. Nancy Travis Plays her. Becker likes chris and chris likes becker.

three words: WHY WHY WHY!!!!!!!

TJL · 05-27-2002, 04:44 PM

CBS loves Nancy Travis.
They've been trying for years to get her a show, with some dismal results (Almost Perfect in 1995 then Work With Me, which lasted six episodes in 1999).

Adding a new character and shifting the time slot spells almost certain doom for this show.

Sitcomwriter · 06-01-2002, 09:23 PM

Well that sucks.I guess Becker and Reg will never end up together

80sTrivia · 06-16-2002, 04:48 PM

That is upsetting news! I was wondering why they brought in Nancy Travis to the show. I like Terry Farrel and her character on the show. Now who's going to run the diner?

We don't know if there still going to have the diner. It might burn down and it would be something new for all we know! Anyway, I just hope that Becker doesn't take a fall off the cliff with its new Sunday time slot. Mondays were best.
